Zaragoza, Spain, Nov 10, 2009 / 23:22 pm
The Fourth International Pro-Life Congress, which ended on Monday in Zaragoza, Spain, issued a document directed at public officials and society in general, urging governments to “work effectively to help pregnant women.”
During a press conference, Jose Perez Adan, professor of Sociology at the University of Valencia and a member of the executive committee of the International Pro-Life Congresses, told reporters, “There is still no international platform involving governments that is devoted to providing economic and health care to pregnant women.”
Adan called attention to the “need to internationalize maternity assistance.” In his opinion, “Aid for pregnant women should go beyond the borders of our country and reach the rest of the world.”
“Abortion has been the greatest cause of death in the history of humanity,” he continued, noting that each year it takes some “50 million” lives.
